Mediterranean Dolmades
Kind of like the Greek ones, still tasty and totally raw!!!
Recipe
1/4 cup Macademia nuts
Put into processor and process until crumbly but not fine, still quite coarse.
In a bowl mix together –
1/4 cup finely chopped Dill
1 red Pepper finely chopped
1/2 cup Sundried Tomatoes – if it’s in oil add in some oil approx 2 tbsp if not in oil add 2 tbsp cold pressed Olive oil
1 tsp finely chopped (or dried) Mint
pinch Sea salt
juice 1/2 Lemon
Mix together well, add in processed Macadamia nuts
Mix well
Collard Green leaves – need to cut them off from the stem (as seen below) to make the ‘wine leaf’ wrapper.
Once you have cut away a leaf, flip it over so the back is up (you can do it the other way as well, but I found doing it this way it rolls easier), add a good heaping tbsp of the mixture in the middle and fold over and roll up.
I find the ends hard to tuck in, you can try it though!!
This is good on it’s own as a snack, side dish or with Tzatziki dip!!!
Enjoy
